Miss Begotten is one of my pet names for myself, for Southern Gothic reasons best kept to myself. Miss Begotten tries to speak plainly, but sometimes she tends to babble -- parenthetically, of course. It's never my intention to offend (and usually that's true - except on those [maybe not so] rare occasions when I mean it very friggin' much) but it sometimes happens, so if you're unusually easily offended...

This Is Your Brain...

The Way You Sleep Tells You a Lot about Your Drinking.

THE WAY YOU SLEEP...

After 4 beers...

After 2 glasses of wine...

After 3 Kamikazes...

After 2 bottles of wine (shared of course)...

After too many Margaritas...

(Note how the head must be restrained)to prevent it from exploding)

After 2 bottles of Jack Daniel's...

I got this in one of those forwarded e-mails that make the rounds, with instructions to pass it along if I could read it. I am chagrined to report that I was able to read it pretty damn quickly – which is perhaps confirmation that I’ve spent too much time with Twisted Linguistics and have done myself some brain damage.

Right Brain (60%) The right hemisphere is the visual, figurative, artistic, and intuitive side of the brain.Left Brain (40%) The left hemisphere is the logical, articulate, assertive, and practical side of the brain

Right Brain 62%Left Brain 48%*results won't usually add up to 100% as this test measures each side separately

Left brain dominant individuals are more orderly, literal, articulate, and to the point. They are good at understanding directions and anything that is explicit and logical. They can have trouble comprehending emotions and abstract concepts, they can feel lost when things are not clear, doubting anything that is not stated and proven.

Right brain dominant individuals are more visual and intuitive. They are better at summarizing multiple points, picking up on what's not said, visualizing things, and making things up. They can lack attention to detail, directness, organization, and the ability to explain their ideas verbally, leaving them unable to communicate effectively.

Yikes, Kan. I hope the boss wasn't calling w/bad news. You really do have some twinning going on. That's amazing that you're nearly perfectly balanced between left and right. I didn't know you were left-handed. About all I can do with my left hand is scratch.

I'm not surprised at your results, either, Roxan. I do think that they're wrong that we righties aren't very effective communicators. I think we do okay.

I'm not arguing with the results, but I found the questions incredibly ambiguous. For example;#3) I am a risk taker.

well, I don't invest money in stupid stocks, or have any desire to go sky-diving or hitchhike or bet on the horses, but I will sell my house and drive across the country with no destination in mind and all my possessions in the back of my car, just for the adventure of it, or start a new business all by myself, or write novels or make new friends without really caring about potential rejection.

Wow, you are perfectly balanced! I'll bet you don't see that too often.

Am I a risk-taker, or not?

Yes, you are. I answered the question in the same context. I don't make questionable investments or buy junk stocks, but I have (and probably would again) picked up and started over, set out with no particular destination, followed my heart to what could well have been doom, totally disregarded the rules, started a couple of businesses, written a couple of novels, yada yada yada. To me, that's real risk-taking. Thank God, people like you and me usually land on our feet.

About Me

You can call me "Serena" or SJ or you can just call me Sherry. If you call me anything else, I'll hear about it. Believe it. I write every now and then and I ... read. I love a good mystery/thriller. If it has me up late, double-checking the locks on the doors, it's hit the mark. I want... Well, I'll let you know when I know.
I ADORE comments, by the way (hint-hint).
